Taku of the Alaska i Transportation Company arrived in | port this morning. Aboard was S. J | Swanson, Vice-President and Gener- ;al Manager of the line, here for a short visit on company business. ‘The Taku marks the reappearance lof the ship in this port, as a unit army, and also inaugurates a resump- | Seattle to Juneau. ’find was hopeful that Congress which has discussed for the last two years the future of the American legislation providing for the sale of the government’s vast war-built fleet and also make possible the construc- | tion of vessels suited to the Coast- | wise trade, very few of this type | ship having been built as a part of !the war program. The carrying out of sich a policy would assure the | necessary water link with the states, |so essential to the development of new industries in Alaska. He also announced that in order j“’ better serve this area the com- pany had decided to establish its own office in Juneau, with Mr. James Church as agent. Mr. Church, who is being transferred from the Ezattle office is already well-known here, having been with the Polaris- Taku Mining Co., as purser of the “Taku-Chief” for two years. | On being questioned as to his |opinion with respect to Canadian participation in the Alaska trade, he stated that after a short period of adjustment to a peace-time basis American lines would ke in a i ticn to adequately serve the prfi nceds of the Territory without fur- , ships should be permitted to con- tinue in order to relieve the trans- portation problem. PLANNING ARTS, CRAFTS EXHIBIT The second annual arts and crafts | xhibit sponsored by the Juneau woman's, club will stress creative s and crafts prcduced by the| pecples of Alaska within recent years and industrial opportunities for the developments of the arts and crafts in Alaska, it is announ-| ced by Miss Alice Brandebury, exe- | cutive committee chairman While the exhibit will not occur| until January committee members and expert advisors following a re- cent meeting are busily engaged in| | perfecting plans so that a truly reprosentative display of the original work of Juneau's many gifted ar- tists and craftsmen may be present- | | ed | A kground display by three out- | tanding governmental agencies will| se invaluable to craftsmen in show- ! {ing the wealth of native materials| | available as a media. B. D. Stewart | |is planning an exhibit of Alaskan| ls from the department of Harry Sperling will display! | native woocds, polished and in the| | lough stage with samples of wcod arving; and the fish and wild- |life display will be staged by Jack| O'Connor and feature the uses to! {which such products can be put. | The exhibit by individuals is limit- ed to arts and crafts produced by! tte pacple of Alaska within recent years showing the pleasure which! craftsmen receive in being creative and also developing useful and de- ccrative articles which can readily tecome small industries. The fields of display tentatively cover 14 divisions. Woodworking | will include furniture, household fur- | ‘ni}llings. toys, model boats, carving, ! ‘jewelry, renovated or re-built articles of furnishings, novelties and curios, cte. Neadl> work shcwing the possi- LIc adaptations of Alaskan mat ials and decigns will encompass needlcpeint, petipont, knitting, weaving, handmade dolls, hand- blcc] , painted or embroidarad fab- 'rics, and fur goods, photography, metal work with wrought iron, cop- ger, etc, displays, gardening and allied arts, will delight many visitors at the exhibit. Of particular interest to both men and women will be displays of can- ning and preserving of foods native to Alaska. Not only the usual ker- ries, but kelp and other delicious fcods which grow abundantly, have a good vitamin content and would preve an interesting addition to the daily fare as well as of keen in- terest to tourists. Other fields will include native ,arts and crafts, publication (crea- 'tive books and publications by Alas- kans); carving of ivory, jade, etc., Girl and Boy Scout exhibits, paint- ,ings including oils, water colors, etchings, etc., accessories such as jewelry boutennierss, ete., and pessi- ,bly a separate field of novelties and curics other than those under thre woodworking section. i Ccmmittee members will welcome any informaticn regarding persons, who will be able to exhibit in the ficlds menticned. Committee mem- bers include Miss Alice Brandebury, | chairman; Henry Harmon, and Mes- |dames Scott L. Murphy, Jack Flet- cker and Jee Werner.

Y., and Sailor Wilbur Swift of Waukesha, Wis., grin their appreciation of Mrs. Helen Baird LaMonte’s aid in writing their love lyrics. Mrs. LaMonte is shown at her desk at the Chicago Servicemen’s Center. By LUCIA PERRIGO Central Press Correspondent CHICAGO — When a Marin2 wcos a maiden he doesn't was'c words—not even poetic ones! Take it from one who knows. This authority on matters amonr’ is a 38-year-old housewife, Helen| LaMonte, who is poet laureate to all branches of the armed forces passing through Chicago. No skimmer of surfaces, Mrs. LaMonte has partaken of K ration, read and reread every report on Army and Navy lingo (censorcd version) to familiarize herself with the language her servicemen suit- ors use. Watching her work, on2 wonders at the speed of her rhym- ing. A lad will approach her, grin shecpishly, make a revolving ring Sailors insist on verse that oozes | of the white sailor cap in his nerv- sentiment. Soldiers talke straight. But Marines pass her by completely and if you don't think she isn’t confused by that cour: of action, you're crazy. For a year this volunteer rhyme- ster has set up shop in the I of the Chicago Servicemen ter, scribbling off sentiments at request “but,” she conf “not a single Marine 3 to wax poetic for him.” Morale being what it i definitely here to stay, C: termined to hypo both 5 America's heroes are ¢ ned and so, synony: with ih2 or ing of the Servicemen’s Center was the appearance of Heien' La- Monte, streamlined poct who can turn out 100 words a minute fa. than a GI can blurti , bashfuily implore: “Please write somcthing romantic for my girl.” Formerly, this dyrical served in the earthy, har role of assistant sales prometion manager for a tire manufacturing d love 70 de- oL female sompany, but came the war and she put her gift for words to work turning her talent * to those who become tonguc-tied the | oresence of Cupld.

(On the side Mrs. LaMonte has time to keep house for a son and aughter and war working hus- and, to lecture to women'’s clubs and serve as secretary of the orthern Illinois branch of the Nu- nal League of Pen Women.) /lthough most of her poems are spu of minute inspirations for cial requests, she wrote a gen- cral one this year for both Mother's day and Father's day. These were mimeographed and placed about the Center for the men to mail home. The:: came the second surprise {of her Center career, second only to the apathy of the Marines to love via lyries. It was that 900 o¢ | the Father's day cards were taken while only 500 of the Mother's day poems were mailed. “Ah, those sentimental sailors™ muses Mrs. LaMonte. “Do you know I've cven had them beg m: to write poems of appreciation to their commanding officers and trinb- | utes to their mothers-in-law!” A half hour with her and you soon discover that the cinema, comic strips, etc, have done our sailors wrong. Th minds are not |on a pretty in every port, a dari- |ing on every delta, a patootic in every puddle! Frankly, the Muse hits them on the head with her harp, doing real | damage only where the poems | concern their one-and-only, their | wives, mothers or children. There are no Bluehecards among the blue- Jjackets, she insists. Only one chap gave her a start, a suspicion that perhaps he was a | eruiser Casanova. He was Kenny. SPF 2/c, of Huntington Park, and he hove to,'to ask for “something really hot for my heartbeat.” The request filled, Mrs. LaMonte looked lup to see his reaction as he | scanned 'it.

Th: |next day he may return, so high | the clouds are even crowding him. | But it doesn't faze this poet. She complies and comes up with metrical measures to match his mood, even the excuse for this | sudden burst of verse which might astound a serviceman's family who never suspected his gift. It goes like this: “Now—if my poem startlcs, Relax right where you arc— Remember that ANYTHING Can happen—this is waz!” ! There is no substitute for newspaper advertising!
